= = =WIDA-BASED Exemplars -- Name that Level!= John and Rita performing an academic task in Spanish. (We explain the concept of "theme" and give examples.) Using the CVC Criteria, where would you place their WIDA Levels?

**Use the CVC Criteria to evaluate our "academic Spanish" WIDA Speaking levels.** Our task was to explain the literary concept of "theme" and give examples.

//**Your task is to use the CVC Criteria to assess Rita, John and Emily in their academic Spanish.**//
 * Based on the CVC Criteria below, what WIDA Level would each of them be at?
 * For each, which criteria or criteria would you focus on in supporting them to "level up"? Who needs work on Complexity? On Vocabulary? On Control?
